She said its nothing to do with the unrest in Tunisia but a lack of demand for the flights from BFS

It does seem like there is some 'backstage' negotiations going on, especially with the talk of TOM operating flights from DSA, and now TCX not... the case at EMA is that TOM have dropped NBE, and now its only TCX... whether that will continue I have no idea

The aircraft wasn't BFS based, it was an A330 that operated W flight from a base on the mainland
No A330s are planned to visit BFS this summer.

Cheers Kestrel_Stu, sorry, must have received wrong information.
I presume it will be the 767 that does the peak Sanford flights from BFS, rather than the A330 then. Are the 767's equiped with PTV's???

Seat pitch
Kestrel Stu
Do you know the seat pitch on the A330s being used on the MAN-YVR flights for Canadian affair this year? The CA web-site says up to 33" which kinda means anything . Do they have the awful AVOD box under the seats too?
Thanks.

Hi
Thomas Cook have also cancelled there Leeds/Bradford - Tunisia programme for the summer season. The based A320 aircraft will now operate an extra weekly departure to Palma-Majorca as a direct replacement on Sundays

Long-Haul
Just heard that Thomas Cook are returning 3 A330's later this year. What does this mean? Are they pulling out of long-haul holidays? Haven't heard of TUI or Monarch dropping out.
Does this mean 2011 is likely to be the last season flying for Canadian Affair?
I beleive it is the JMC A330s that are doing the Canadian routes this summer, and these aircraft were re-configured back to 29" pitch for the job.

Yes the Canadian Affair / TCX contract finishes at the end of the summer 2011 season. Effectively the contract takes up 2.5 A330s hence 3 aircraft going back to the leasing company this winter.
The ex-MYT A330s are staying in the fleet, as mentioned these aircraft are on far more favourable lease deals (mortgages actually) compared with MB/MC/XA which are apparently quite a bit more expensive.
